Tanya8 I'm from Canada where it's quite common and acceptable to be an atheist. I've been to three atheist memorial services. The bodies were cremated. Friends and family members gave speeches, and sang or played songs that were meaningful to the person who had died....

Is abortion legal in your home country?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 6 Dec 08

Abortion is legal in my home country up until 24 weeks pregnancy. That is the same age that a baby that is born early can live if they get good medical care. I would never have an abortion but I respect other ladies decision if...

Tanya8 There is actually no law for or against, so hospitals determine policy, and the policy mirrors the laws of most other nations where abortion is legal. Abortion on demand is available in the first trimester and for medical reasons only in the second.

It's been a long time I did not enter mylot. I have been busy with my real life and also it was getting a bit boring (many of my friends here left). Maybe I would restart. I still not have the time I had to write here everyday,...

Tanya8 Hi Missak, This is the first time I've been here in months! It's nice to see you and hear that you're doing well. I'm trying not to get sucked in again, since this site used to be such a drain on my time. I'm home sick today, so I thought I'd take a quick...

Tanya8 Hi Missak, I'm back from all my traveling, but haven't been that active either. I feel like I should save my computer time for when the days get dark and rainy, even though I originally promised to get back to some of the "big" discussions I was in at the end...

Have you ever tried Stevia as a sweetener?

craftcatcher @craftcatcher (3699) • United States 22 Aug 07

I have been using Stevia for over a year now for coffee, tea and cereal. It is amazingly potent and for a cup of coffee or tea I only use about 1/16th of a teaspoon.. that is plenty sweet enough. It has been used in Japan to...

Tanya8 I agree with your assessment of Stevia. I've known about it for a long time, but never used it much, because I found it difficult to work with. Then my favorite plain yogurt went off the market, and I find the other plain ones too bitter, so I've been adding...

Tanya8 I'm not great at keeping on top of things in other parts of the house, but I'm very serious about laundry :). I hate it when my well-meaning, five year old goes around to everyone's room, collects up the laundry and dumps it on top of a pile of clean...

Tanya8 Thanks for the warning. I've just recently got into the habit of eating those types of carrots again, after spending the last two years buying (and growing) regular carrots and chopping them (after the last recall announcement).

Tanya8 That's a tough one. I'd choose intellectual pleasure over physical too. I guess the best approach would be to focus on how necessary physical pleasure is to survival. For example, if we didn't enjoy eating, we'd be less concerned about making sure we ate...
